Abstract
Odontogenic calcifying cyst (OCC) is a rare neoplasm that originates from odontogenic epithelial cells. It is often intraosseous and painless and grows with the same frequency on both the jaw areas. The aim of this study was to report the occurrence of OCC in a 13-year-old boy, whose routine radiography revealed a radiolucent image on the left maxilla. Incisional biopsy was performed to confirm the diagnosis of OCC. Surgical enucleation treatment was conducted with the patient under general anesthesia. Extractions of teeth #21 and #22 were also performed, followed by lyophilized bovine bone graft reconstruction. After 30 days, the patient was rehabilitated with a temporary tooth fixed with orthodontic braces, and after 2 years, there have been no complaints or recurrence of OCC. The patient is under observation and in future may be rehabilitated with dental implants.
